IN MEMORIAM

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of The Honorable William C. Thompson. Judge Thompson passed away on December 24, 2018 at the age of 94. A decorated veteran of World War II and Brooklyn’s first African-American state senator, Judge Thompson leaves behind a remarkable and distinguished career as a prominent legal, political and community leader. He was the father of former City Comptroller Bill Thompson Jr., whom he swore into office in 2002. Judge Thompson served as a neutral for NAM for nearly a decade. Our deepest condolences go out to his son Bill, his daughter Gail and to his family and loved ones.
